Advanced Stability — Chief Mate Unlimited, Modernised Syllabus — Audio Course

In January 2015 the Hoegh Osaka left Southampton with a stability condition that existed on paper and not in the water — minutes later her master was deliberately running her onto Bramble Bank to stop a capsize. Advanced Stability is the paper Chief Mate candidates fear most, and this course teaches it the way the new MCA digital assessment (management level) actually examines it: as reasoning you can defend out loud, not formulas you re-read at midnight.

Modernised syllabus (MIN 720) · IAMI digital assessment ready

Listen your way through the syllabus — on watch, on the drive to the crew house, in the gym. Narrated in a clear British voice built for long-form listening, structured so every chapter stands alone, and every chapter closes with a five-question oral-style self-test you answer out loud.

Damaged stability taught through the Herald of Free Enterprise and the Estonia. Grain, timber and liquefying bulk cargoes as the rules that casualties wrote. Every calculation narrated slowly enough to follow on watch.

Every chapter maps to the stability sections of the Chief Mate/Master Unlimited digital assessment syllabus (navigation, stability and structure — management level), so you walk into the assessment room and the orals having already answered out loud, hundreds of times.

Pairs with: Ship Stability and Cargo Operations — OOW Unlimited (£29) — the operational-level foundation this course builds on.
